lyrics

I want to tell you a story about romance, and all the ways it can go wrong, even when it feels so right / Laissez-moi vous raconter une histoire sur le romantisme et touts les façons que ça peut pourrir / Même quand on se sent si bien / Sarah said with good intention / You’ve got a new obsession / Guess it’s not polite to mention / But I can’t take the pressure / You’re breaking my heart / Bethany’s a natural beauty / I can see what you see in her / You could always just be cruel to be kind / And tell me, I don’t mind / You’re breaking my heart / Je te préviens / All these lies, all these lies / And now you’ve got my foolish heart falling apart / From all of your lies / Caroline can’t keep a secret / And now they all can see it / Melanie won’t look me in the eye / Do you taste the tear-drops that I cry / So you can tell us apart? / But I guess I knew from when I met you / You were just the type to fall for / Baby, come on now, tell me you like / Breaking a heart / Ce genre d’histoire se passe tous les jours / All these lies / All these lies / And now you’ve got my foolish heart falling apart / From all of your lies / All these lies / (Why don’t you tell me truth?) / All these lies / (That I’m a fool for you) / And now you’ve got my foolish heart falling apart / From all of your lies.
